With gold tailings as aggregate and ground gold mine tailings (referred to as gold mine tailings powder) as precursor materials, a kind of backfill material was prepared by alkali activation with sodium hydroxide together with sodium silicate as an activating agent. The effects of several factors, including particle size of gold mine tailings powder, modulus and addition of activating agent, on the mechanical properties of backfill mass were studied. The test results show that when gold mine tailings is ground for 60 min (size d50 of 5.939 μm), modulus and addition of sodium silicate in activating agent are 1.2 and 60% respectively, the prepared backfill mass can have a 28 d compressive strength of 854.2 kPa, completely up to the requirement for backfill mass stipulated in the GB/T 39489—2020 "Technical Specification for Paste Filling with Total Tailings". Due to alkali activation, gold mine tailings powder is subjected to a hydration reaction, yielding a large amount of aluminosilicate gel, which forms a dense and stable structure, resulting in the backfill mass with good mechanical properties.
